McCaffery, Struthers and Phayre will be members of Aberdeen’s Group Management Board (GMB).

Aberdeen’s active equities, fixed income and property arms continue to be led by Hugh Young, Brad Crombie and Pertti Vanhanen respectively, while Mandy Pike, Aberdeen’s global head of dealing, has also joined the GMB.

Aberdeen chief executive Martin Gilbert (pictured) said: ''The creation and enlargement of these units further emphasises the breadth of Aberdeen’s investment capabilities. Alternatives, investment solutions and quant equity can all play important roles in delivering a diversified range of returns to clients.

'These units together with Aberdeen’s strengths in active equities and fixed income mean we are well placed to continue to meet the needs of our investor base around the world.'

He added: 'Dean, Lynda, Mark and Will all made significant contributions to the Swip business and helped ensure it was in the best possible shape as the acquisition completed. I would like to thank them for their professionalism throughout this process and wish them all the very best for the future.'
